The Massage Treatment;

In nervous prostration and weari:
ness from overwork the tendency of
the blood is to leave the arteries and
become engorged in the veins. Mas
sage, rightly employed, aids in the res
toration of the normal circulation,
and thus helps the system to right it.
self. The patient is extended upon a
lounge or bed, and the operator begins
with one foot, squeezing it gently with
the hands as though it were sponge
filled with water and he were squeezing
the water from it, and working al
ways toward the heart. The hands
OF OF the operator clasp the limbs
with firm butgentle grasp and apply
this squeezing, pinching pressure all
the way from the hands and feet to
where these limbs join the body, not
rubbing the skin, but pressing and
working the muscles under it. The
muscles of the neck, chest and abdo-
men will receive the same treatment.
Then the patient gives his back to the
operator. ALI adown the back are large
veins, and these become engorged with
blood. The operator kneads and
plnches, and squeezes and presses all
the muscles of the back for a long time
until a pink tint flushes the skin: All
about the face, the neck, the back of
the neck, especially, there are many
veins, and the muscles which they
traverse are thoroughly handled until
the circulation is free. The patient
soon begins to find relief and sinks to
sleep, or into Il delicious disposition
to lie still and rest, which disposition
should be encouraged as long as it

Preparation Of Whitewash.

Whitewash is one of the most valu-
able articles in the world when prop
erly applied. 1t not only prevents
the decay of wood, but conduces
greatly to the healthfulness of all
buildings, whether of wood or
stone. Outbuildings and fences,
when not painted, should be sup
Piled once or twice a year with
a good coat of whltewash, which should
be prepared in the following way:
Take a clean, water tight barrel, or
other suitable cask. and put into it
half bushel of lime. Slack it by
pouring water over it boiling hot, and
in sufficient quantity to cover it five
inches deep, and stir it briskly till thor
oughly slaked. When the shaking has
been thoroughly effected. dissolve in
water and add twopounds ofsulphate
ofzinc and one of common salt; these
will cause the wash to harden, and
prevent its cracking, which gives an
unseemly appearance to the work.
If desirable, a beautiful cream color
may be communicated to the above
wash by adding three pounds OF yell
low ochre, or good pearl or lead COL
or by the addition Of lamp, vine or
ivory black. For fawn color, add
four pounds of lumber, Turkish or
American 1.-THE latter is cheapest), one
pound Of common lampblack. For
common stone color, add four pounds
OF raw lumber and two pounds oflamp-
black. This wash may be applied
with g. common whitewash brush, and
will be found superior both in appear
ance and durability to the common
whitewash.- CHICAGO News.

Character Of Hired Holm.

This is the time for employing
farm help, and farmers would do we'll
to consider the Importance of good
moral character. Rough, profane
and vicious men cannot fail to faint
the morals and manners of the young.
Even for the sake of his stock and
property a careful man will not wish
about his premises vicious or in
temperate man. Such an one will
destroy more than the value of his
wages. The Christian character
which makes a man trustworthy and
careful OF the interests of his employer
is valuable on the farm as he is every
where else. Goodness is profitable
for all things" But it is worth while
to carefully distinguish from this a
certain mild. mannerdness that hash
backbone and is the result of physical
incapacity or laziness rather than OF
principle. 1t is rather too much to
expect all the cardinal virtues for SIS
or $50 q month, but parents should
insist that help they hire should not
be of a. character to contaminate their
children.

Remedy for 4 Sick Cow.

Want OF nutritious food previous to
calving is acoiiiinon cause OF weakness
after calving: The cows SYSTEM is ex:
hausted by the calving, and if she is
deficient in strength she falls off rap,
idly. Twenty pounds of good hay or
three or four quarts of bran or mid
dlings daily is little enough to keep a
COW in good strong condition through
the winter. After calving this food NAV
be increased a little if the COW gives as
much as ~ or ii quarts OF milk.
10 bring up a COW when she
falls off is difficult matter; it is
easier to keep her up; but the only way
is to give her good food; and, if her
appetite is. poor, to give tonics to
strengthen it. In this case give q pint
of raw linseed oil-not salts, which are

If necessary. Then give warm bran

phate of iron and ginger in it once &
day. Some cut turnips or carrots or
potatoes would be useful to the COW.
The drinking water should be warmed

stirred in it.

keeper should do her best to keep it
as comfortable as possible. AS it is
probably used more or less by men,
bers of the family, the furniture in it
should be carefully inspected prior to
the advent OF the guest and any cloth
ing in the bureau drawers or wardrobe
should be removed. Nothing is more
awkward for q guest than to be sud-
denly disturbed when dressing or un-
dressing by the entrance of q member
OF the family in search OF something
hanging up or left in a drawer. 1t is
possible that the spare bedroom is
unprovided with a wardrobe, in which
case an excellent temporary substi-
tute can be arranged with a strong
clothes-rack and curtains suspended
from pole.

Fashionable Babies.

The fashionable baby is an i'm.
portant figure in society just now.
Says the New York correspondent OF
the Hartford Courant:
Fashionable babies are christened
at home nowadays. One after
noon at O'Clock sharp number OF
ladies and gentlemen OF the ton were
gathered in an uptown drawing room.
In the centre of the salon stood a
small table decorated with smilax and
white rosebuds and bearing repousse
silver bowl The clergyman and the
godparents took their places; the door
opened and a busting parsonage in
stiff black silk appeared, bearing a
bundle OF white lace, and q
very large white satin sash, somewhere
in the folds OF which was hidden the
extremity small, red specimen who was
about to renounce the pomps and
vanities OF this wicked world. After
the ceremony the little Christian dis.
appeared and the doors were thrown
open for the slight refreshment de-
manded at that hou.. The table was
decorated with a large oval mirror,
around which was massed bank OF
moss and sn:ilax, with a centre of
Cornelia Cook rosebuds; at every plate
was placed a little white basket, lined
with silk and bound with soft white
ribbon, the ends painted in gold let
tiers, with the date and the name of
the small hostess, which, luckily for
her, was that sweetest of all vowed
combinations, "Alice." These baskets
were filled with French misnonette
and ''tea'' buds. Candle was
first served in small pink cups, on
which were painted q medallion of
a babys head. But the feature OF the
entertainment was babies in Ice cream,
frozen stiff and fast, like so many lit
tie dolls, and resting on nests OF spun
glass. Nobody had the heart to eat
them, or we should he able to satisfy
the curiosity Weakened by Dean Swift,
who, you will remember, always felt
he would like to have had a taste OF
a tender young infant, and gave great
ot1ense to the reviewers by recommend
ing them as an article of diet. When
we were leaving. each guest was pre-
sented with small box filled with
white almonds (which go with christ
enlngs as naturally as do caudle and
raisins) and a big artificial rose, white
to the ladies and red to the gentle
men. Hanging from the stalk were
three small foreign gold coins, and in
the centre Of each rose q little silver
baby was hidden, with "Alice" engrav-
ed on its back. The godparents got
blue roses and a gold image.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Household Hats.

Polish OF mahogany color: Two
ounces OF beeswax cut fine, spirits of
turpentine, one ounce; one dram pow
dered resin. Melt at a gentle heat,
and add two drains OF Indian red to
give it a mahogany color.
Coffee if taken early in the morning
on an empty stomach is said to act as
a preventive against infectious and
many acute epedlmic diseases.
Oil for red furniture.--Take linseed
oil; put it into glazed pipkin with as
much alkanet root as it will cover.
Let it boil gently, and it will become
Of strong red color; when cool it will
be fit for use:
1nflammations are more safely and
far more agreeably subdued by the
application of warm water than of
cold.
Don't neglect to give tho baby a.
drink OF water once or twice a day.
The nursing baby cries oftener from
thirst than from hunger.
For warts, corns and other indura-
tions of the cuticle, nothing acts more
satisfactorily than a mixture OF equal
parts OF tincture of iodine and glacial
acetic acid, applied in repeated layers
with a brush, night and morning.
Cherry is just now the fashionable
wood for bedroom furniture. It is
much lighter than the old, heavy, solid
black walnut sets which used up every
available space in an ordinary sized
room. Oak furniture retains it's pop.
ularity, and is handsome with either
pink, terra Gotta or olive green walls.
Brass adds elegance to- bedroom
adornments at the present time; and
is used for top rods and foot rails, or
circular or oval canopies, as we'll as
for mirror frames.

The sweet girls secret was plainly
told in this letter; also her unerrina

Allison was keen and shrewd. He
saw at q glance that some trick had
been played upon the unsuspectina
girl; but whom to mistrust, unless Will
Chester, he did not know.
The next day he happened to meet
Eva returning from the village alone.
A tide OF crimson overswept his own
face as we'll as hers.
Miss Atwood, will you let me see
the letter wrote your" he asked.
/. "Certainly," she replied, but with a

but she could not thus deceive the
young man himself. Furthermore,

ed on, comparing in his mind
the beautiful, guileless face oil
Eva with the proud look OF Belle.
His love for the latter was swept to
the winds by his knowledge that she
had perpetrated this cruel hoax upon
her cousin.
II wonder if I was mistaken, y
thought Eva, as she walked on. "He
looked almost as If he cared.'
"She loves ME, l feel sure, by her
letter." said he to himself, and a glad
warmth stole into his heart at the
thought.
After this; Mr.. Fosters visits plain
~ were to Eva, and in a few months
he asked her to marry him, and this
time she did not refuse.
Belle bitterly regretted her Jolly
when she learned OF her engagement,
for somehow she felt that her con-
duct had helped it forward. II was
the April Fool, not Eva, she said but
she bore the disappointment in
naughty silence, and Annie and Cora
forbore to mention her April joke,
and to this day Eva knows nothing
about it.
